EXT JS lloks fantastic, thanks! I'll be using it for sure. I've worked with Backbase for quite some time, which is extremely powerful, but sometimes unpredictable with the cross-browser stuff. I have a lot of respect for the developers of Backbase, but it has become so complex that there keep popping up bugs that are hard to fix. This seems like a nice (even though a bit less powerful) alternative.

A little (offtopic) update bout my first experiences with ExtJS 3.... It's extremely usable. I've used a lot of js libraries and I've never came across one that's so easy to use and work well cross-platform (IE, FF, Opera and Safari all seem to work flawless). I'm integrating it in the PHP zend Framework now, which is a bit trickey but doable.

I've convinced my boss to get me a license (actually, the library did most of the convincing). I'm writing apps with it as we speak....so thanks for the tip again!! and keep using it for XBMC Contol Web, because there is no better alternative.

its in your main xbmc directory, i renamed mine to web.old and created a new one for this

I Just got it installed and using it now, so far I am impressed, awesome work, I have been wanting an updated remote for sometime, I use mine every day. I hope someone can contribute some cool skins,

Here is my feedback so far.

I did notice when I open the remote it causes a slight hickup in the video playing. but not enough to disrupt the playing. Not sure what details you need.

The media shows all files in the folders, I keep a lot of fanart and nfo files, so its a bit cluttered view, and I have to open several folders to get to a movie. Since these items can't be used it would be nice to filter them out or have a library only view option.

That is the folder you need to put these files in, once there and XBMC is running you can connect to it. not sure what os you are using but in my windows installation its c:\program files\xbmc\web

Those are the web remote files, just rename that web folder to web.old and make yourself a new folder called web and put these files in there to test it. If it breaks you can just rename your .old one back.

If I understand correctly the 'Dual Licensing Model' they use will allow for using the library for free and legally in XBMC.
